    November 10, 2016 Most lawmakers running in local races fare well State lawmakers running for local posts nearly ran the table on Tuesday, with just one going down in defeat. The lone loss came in Stark County, where Canton Township Trustee Bill Smith secured an unofficial 57.5-42.5% victory over Rep. Stephen Slesnick (D-Canton) in the race for a seat on the Stark County Board of Commissioners. The House's second highest-ranking Republican, Rep. Ron Amstutz (R-Wooster), secured a seat on the Wayne County Board of Commissioners after defeating David Keifer by a preliminary margin of about 70-30%. Mr. Keifer sought Rep. Amstutz's House seat in the March primary election but was defeated by Scott Wiggam, who went on to win the general election race. In Huron County, Rep. Terry Boose (R-Norwalk) bested Democrat Howard Smith in the race for a seat on the Huron County Board of Commissioners by about a margin of 64-36%, preliminary results show.

  • 2018 Post-General Election Update
    2018 post-general election update November 7, 2018 On Tuesday, November 6, 2018, Ohioans cast ballots in the 2018 general election. For the first time since 2006, five statewide elected offices were up for election without an incumbent running in the 2018 general election. Federal offices, including all Ohio U.S. Representatives seats and one U.S. Senate seat, two Ohio Supreme Court seats, all seats in the Ohio House of Representatives and 17 Ohio Senate seats were on the ballot. Many counties in Ohio and around the country reported record- breaking early voter turnout. Nearly 1.5 million ballots were requested by mail and in person, and an estimated 1.3 million had been cast as of the close of early voting on November 5, 2018. Here is Bricker & Eckler’s overview of the 2018 general election results and details on races of particular interest. STATEWIDE BALLOT ISSUES Issue 1: This proposed constitutional amendment was filed as the “Neighborhood Safety, Drug Treatment, and Rehabilitation Amendment.” If adopted, the amendment would have, among other things, required reductions in sentencing in certain situations, mandated that certain criminal offenses or uses of any drugs, such as fentanyl and heroin, can only be classified as a misdemeanor, and prohibited jail time as a sentence for obtaining, possessing or using such drugs until an individual’s third offense within 24 months. Issue 1 was defeated by 63.41 percent. The Ohio Safe and Healthy Communities Campaign led the way in support of the proposed constitutional amendment. Supporters of Issue 1 were financially supported by Open Society Policy Center, the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative and the Open Philanthropy Project Action Fund.

  • 2014 Election Review + What's Next for Ohio
    Electi2014 on RECAP Election Review + What’s Next for Ohio The anticipation for Election Day finally peaked and now the aftermath of the poll results is starting to sink in across the state. While it may be clear who the winners are, there is still much more to uncover as Ohio prepares for what is to come in the next four years. This Election Review provides insights into what the results really mean for Ohio, what issues are left and what could be on the ballot in 2016. Election Review + What’s Next for Ohio We’re Going to Campaign like it’s 2018! by Steve Tugend Last night, when all of the Republican statewide officeholders were declared victors in their reelection bids, the 2018 gubernatorial race quietly began. Thanks to Article III Section 2 of the Ohio Constitution, not only is Governor John Kasich unable to run for a third term, but his statewide colleagues, Mike DeWine, John Husted, Dave Yost, Mary Taylor and Josh Mandel, will be unable to seek an additional term in their current positions in the 2018 election. While Yost, a former county prosecutor, is expected to seek the attorney general’s position in that year, there could be a crowded GOP field vying for governor in the 2018 election. Husted, DeWine, Mandel and Taylor could all enter the race. However, one of these four may opt to run against Senator Sherrod Brown that year. Matt Borges, the Chair of the Ohio Republican Party, is likely to lose sleep worrying about avoiding a repeat of the 2006 gubernatorial race debacle where Jim Petro and Ken Blackwell collided in a vicious primary battle that resulted in Democrat Ted Strickland clobbering the Republican nominee and the GOP statewide ticket winning only a solitary seat thanks to Mary Taylor.

By 2015, almost 66 percent of the company’s revenue will be paid either in part or entirely by the federal and state government. For this reason, we continue to play an active role in the political process through our Public Affairs efforts, industry memberships and WellPAC, our political action committee. More than 1,875 WellPoint associates provided voluntary nancial support to WellPAC in 2012.

Greenspan (R - Westlake), the bill received proponent testimony from State Auditor David Yost who shared with the committee that the legislation was proposed to address the use of credit cards by local governments which has become more prevalent in recent years.
